KHARTOUM, Jan 31 (Reuters) - A student in Sudan died from
his injuries after being beaten by security forces who broke up
anti-government demonstrations inspired by protests in
neighbouring Egypt, activists said on Monday.

Three activists told Reuters that Mohamed Abdelrahman, a
student from Khartoum's Omdurman Ahaliya University, died in
hospital from his injuries late on Sunday and had been buried.
The university has been closed indefinitely.

It was the first reported death in student protests that
have erupted in several cities.

On Sunday night, students at Khartoum university were beaten
and teargassed in their dormitories with at least five injured.
Protests were also held in el-Obeid town in the west and Kassala
in the east, with hundreds of young people being beaten by
police with batons, activists said.
